When was the last time we had a big Spider-Man centric Marvel event? Spider-Island, just going by what I can see in this pic, is telling me that we’re going to see a lot of people with Spider-powers, and presumably they’ll have an island. The X-Men are mutants and they also have an island that they got out of an event. I’m not sure if this is relevant. We can also see that this looks to be a full on Marvel event, as you can see the bodies of everyone from Reed Richards to Ms. Marvel to Gravity, and hey look, there’s a knocked out Thor.
I’ll admit it, I’m curious, and I’m a little bit antsy for some more information. Stupid teasers.
